What Is Recognition of Prior Learning?

Recognition of Prior Learning is a formal assessment process that evaluates skills, knowledge, and experience you have gained through your career against the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification.

You gather relevant workplace evidence and a qualified assessor from the delivering Registered Training Organisation evaluates that evidence. If the assessor determines every competency requirement is met, the RTO issues the qualification.

Is the Diploma of Production Management currently available?+
We are currently identifying RTO partners who meet our standards for the MSM50316 qualification. While not immediately available for enrolment, your registration helps us gauge industry demand and accelerate the partnership process.
Why should I register my interest?+
Registering ensures you are the first to be notified once an assessment pathway is established. It also allows our consultants to provide a preliminary review of your experience so you are prepared when the qualification opens.
Is RPL the same as completing a training course?+
No. While the outcome is the same nationally recognised qualification, RPL is an assessment of the skills you already possess. It focuses on evidence of your past work rather than teaching you new material.
What if my experience is in a specific sector like process manufacturing?+
The MSM50316 qualification is specifically designed with process manufacturing in focus, but it is highly applicable across the entire manufacturing value chain where production systems require coordination.
How do I know if my experience is at a Diploma level?+
A Diploma level generally reflects a role where you have significant responsibility for planning, directing, and analysing the work of others and the performance of systems, rather than just performing technical tasks.
Does this qualification cover Lean manufacturing?+
This qualification focuses on improving production in environments where lean processes are not yet fully employed. If your expertise is specifically in Lean or Six Sigma, we may also explore the Diploma of Competitive Systems and Practices with you.
What does registering my interest mean?+
Registering your interest means you'd like to be notified when this qualification becomes available through RPL. There's no commitment. We'll contact you when an RTO partnership is confirmed for this qualification.
Why isn't this qualification available yet?+
RPL It works with partner RTOs to deliver qualifications. We're currently exploring RTO partnerships for this qualification. Registering your interest helps us prioritise which qualifications to focus on next.
What happens after I register my interest?+
You'll receive a confirmation, and we'll keep your details on file. When a partner RTO is confirmed for this qualification, we'll contact you with the next steps, including how to start your free skills review.
Can I still do a free skills review for this qualification?+
Yes. A free skills review helps you understand whether your experience aligns with the qualification requirements, regardless of whether an RTO partner is currently available. It's a useful first step while you wait.
